Martha Nathan, co
executive director of the
Greensboro Justice Fund,
explained the group’s posi
tion. “We feel that this
grand Jury is. a response to
the pressure of public opi
nion — demonstrations,
rallies, petitions — calling
for Justice Department ac
tion against racist and anti
Semitic violence and its
links with government. As
far as we know this is the
first time- the Reagan
Justice Department has in

violence.

concern about the possibili

grand Jury.
State Revenues
Vs. “New
Federalism”
“Reaganomics is caus
ing curtailed state tax col
lections even as we talk
about it." This comment
was made by North
Carolina Democratic
Chairman Russell G.
Walker (D-Randolph),
following a report by a
senior fiscal analyst for the
N. C. General Assembly
showing higher unemploy
ed e nt, a decline in
manufacturing and reduc
ed consumer spending in
North Carolina.
"During the first seven
months of the fiscal year,
N. C. tax collections grew
only 9 to 9.5 percent. Since
the state budget is baaed on
an expected rate of 10.3%,
Ccan see that we don’t
e the money to increase
state spending. We will
have a balanced budget,
bat it will be due to reduced
spending.”
North Carolina will face
a more trying time in the
year beginning July 1,
when the budget is premis
ed on an 11 percent In
crease in tax collections.
“Other states are shar
ing the some problem,’’
Senator Walker continued.
“So it Is unreal to expect
them to finance federal
programs on the state
level. Fortunately, many
members of Congress — in
cluding many Republicans
— are beginning to see the
reality of the situation. So
maybe the proposals of
President Reagan and
Budget Director Stockman
will remain on hold."

Puhlk* Can
Look For
Huge Deficits
. WASHINGTON, D. C. -
The American public can
look forward to huge
federal deficits, greater
unemployment, slower
economic growth and a
slipping international
economic position If the
Reagan Administration
continues its military
buildup, reports the New
York-based Council on
Economic Priorities. The
findings were made public
today in a study commis
sioned by the International
Association of Machinists,
and the Coalition for a New
Foreign and Military
Policy.
The 55 page study, called
The Costs and Conse
quences of Reagan’s
Military Building, ex
amines a notion at least as
old as Adam Smith — that
military spending comes at
the expense cf domestic
production. The authors,
Robert DeGrasse Jr., Paul
Murphy and William
Ragen, compared the
economic performance
over tne last two aecaTtgjrrsf-—
the United States, Canada,
Japan, Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, France. West
Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Norway,
Sweden, and the United
Kingdom. They found that
nations with smaller
relative military budgets
had faster economic
-growth,—investment—and
productivity increases
Military A Drag
On The Economy
TJnh'e~haTrohs“lTU<ireff:
the United States devoted
the highest average
percentage of gross
domestic product (GDP) to
the military during that
period, and experienced
the lowest investment rate
and productivity increases,
and the third lowest overall
growth rate.
Depression Or
Inflation: Either
-gayWe l/>v __
By combining the largest
peacetime military buildup
in our history with massive
tax cuts, the administra
tion commits us to un
precedented federal
deficits. Most observers
feel that the deficits will
run well over $100 billion
for the next few years.
Deficits are financed by
creating new money or by
borrowing funds in the
credit markets. The
Federal Reserve Bank's
current policy will pro
bably preclude the first op
tion. Instead, the govern
ment will compete with
private consumers and
businesses for credit, driv
ing up Interest rates.
Kising interest rates
mean higher prices for con
sumers and less business
investment in plants and
equipment. CEP fears that
by crowding our private
borrowers, the federal
budget will seriously harm
the U. S. economy and
hinder recovery from the
recession. “If we are not
careful, high budget
deficits fueled by the
military buildup could push
us into the second ‘great
depression' of this cen
tury,” warns DeOrasse.
If military spending and
tax cuts push us out of the
present recession Instead
